Do you like a good debate? Here are a few from the latest episode of Detroit Public Television’s “MiWeek,” where Detroit Free Press Editorial Page Editor Stephen Henderson and Detroit News Editorial Page Editor Nolan Finley debate Gov. Rick Snyder’s leadership, Gary Brown’s appointment to Kevyn Orr’s team and more. “MiWeek” host Christy McDonald referees.

Below are snippets of their debates, watch the video for the full conversation.

On Snyder’s leadership after the state Senate left before taking a vote on Medicaid expansion:

(Scrub to minute 7:40 for the Medicaid discussion)

Stephen Henderson: This is a loss for the governor, as I see it. It’s a sign of his inability to control his own caucus. It’s also a sign that he’s made deals in the past with people who have stabbed him in the back. Going forward, I think, you have to treat the whole thing differently.

Nolan Finley: That’s a classic overstatement. This is the way politics works. You’ve got a strong governor, and you’ve got strong legislative leaders, who are going to have these sort of clashes. What happens here is what always happens. They’ll get a compromise deal.

Henderson: He’s got control of the governor’s office and both houses of the Legislature, and he can’t get his agenda done.

On Gary Brown’s decision to leave council for a job in Orr’s office:

Henderson: I’m not sure what qualifies him as an executive turnaround person. ... There’s nothing in his background that suggests he can do that. I also think it’s dangerous to be plucking people out of the political structure ... and putting them in the ranks of the emergency manager’s administration. But then you’ve also got the salary issue here: $225,000 a year for this job, when every other word out of Kevyn Orr’s mouth is about how broke we are.

Christy McDonald: Do you agree?

Finley: No, of course not. Gary Brown was the brightest guy on that council. He understands the city. He’s been around the city for a long time, that brings Kevyn Orr an advantage he doesn’t have himself. He understands politics ... but he also understands how the city works, and he’s made a point, during his time on council, to figure out where the waste is and what’s not working. I think he brings Kevyn Orr that experience and some very good solutions. If he can save some time and money in this process, he’s worth every dime.
